Matt Kuchar, a seasoned American golfer, has chosen to complete his final round at the Wyndham Championship on Monday, August 12, after the tournament experienced a series of delays due to darkness. The PGA Tour event, which began on Friday, August 9, was suspended multiple times, resulting in a condensed schedule for the players.
Kuchar, who had a strong start to the tournament with a 64 in the opening round, struggled in the later rounds. He maintained his momentum into the second round, shooting a bogey-free round, but faltered in the third round with an even-par 70. In the final round, Kuchar shot a mixed bag of birdies and bogeys, leaving him tied for 12th place with a score of 11-under.
However, Kuchar’s decision to complete his final round on Monday sets him apart from the rest of the field. While Chad Ramey and Max Greyserman chose to finish their rounds on Sunday, Kuchar opted to play on Monday, leaving him with a single hole to complete. He will resume play on the par-4 18th hole, 212 yards from the hole, after marking his ball on Sunday evening.
Meanwhile, Aaron Rai emerged victorious, claiming his maiden PGA Tour win with a score of 18-under par. Rai shot a impressive 64 on Sunday to secure his win, followed by Max Greyserman in second place and J.J. Spaun and Ryo Hisatsune tied for third.
Kuchar’s decision to complete his final round on Monday may seem unusual, but it highlights his dedication to the sport. Despite being seven strokes behind the winner, Kuchar is determined to finish the tournament on his own terms. As he prepares to complete his final hole, Kuchar will look to end the tournament on a high note, setting his sights on future PGA Tour events.
